[Gluster-users] Problem With AFR

Hello Eduardo,

We had the same problem over here, with two nodes that are both server
and client.
You can try to lower the ping-timeout in the client volume file:

option ping-timeout 5

5 seconds is the sadly the lowest possible ping-timeout, our
applications on the main node can hang for about 5 seconds in case the
standby node fails (although we have a dedicated interconnect).
Maybe the gluster developers have a better solution to this.

Regards,
Richard
